John I certainly understand the Wild Turkey and typing.
I was not arguing that the collared dove were a problem and so needed to be eradicated. What I wrote about killing rats was in counter to gunut's humanitarian argument against taking collared doves during breeding season.
The collared dove may become a problem but nobody knows. As far as I know no Game and Fish Department or researcher has stated that they are a problem. Certainly the invasive pigeons have become a problem.
I see the collared dove as a resource to be exploited. If the US decides it is good for them to be here and they want to conserve them for hunting then hunting seasons make sense.
Best,
Mike
